I have played my guitar with low, medium and high action. I myself prefer low as you can run up and down the fretboard like a greasy sausage.What do you lot think?

For me it depends on the instrument, my four string and my guitars all have medium actions, my five string really needs a low action. I suspect if I get a Peavey Cyrus like I'm planning, it'll need a low action too.

I perfer medium to high action. It's harder to play that way at first, but the higer the action is, the more tone & sustain your guitar gets.

i like medium to low, it is still easy to play and it then the strings don't buzz because they he hit the frets.
